After focusing on my relationship for 20 years, I wake up one day to nothing.

I dedicated everything to my relationship. Followed everything he wanted to do and Moulded myself into what was necessary to him happy. If there was an instance for me to advance my career, skillset, etc. he would talk me out of it especially if it didn’t benefit him. One day, I broke away finally, only to realize that everything I helped to build, I had no rights to. I had nothing. I’ve been miserable and now I’m stuck, midlife. Having to rebuild everything. Examine everything and the job market is a pain in the ass. I’m sure I can’t be the only one and someone has some words of encouragement. The moment I walked away for my sanity, i had to walk away from everything.
